Chapter 54 Fishing Law Enforcement
The actions of the Hungarian Independence Organization can only be regarded as a small fight, and the movements of the French Revolutionary Party can be regarded as large.
In January 1865, demonstrations took place in more than 30 cities throughout France, from Paris to Montauban, as if France had returned to the era of the Revolution.
Many people joined the parade in a daze, shouting all sorts of slogans, such as:
There were those who demanded support for the Polish independence movement, those who opposed one of the government's policies, those who advocated support for the Spanish Revolutionary Party, and those who opposed the colonial movement......
Only the unexpected, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be shouted.
Obviously, the French Revolutionary Party has also learned wisely, and the domestic economy has developed well in recent years, and everyone's small life is okay, and rebellion will not work at all at this time.
The government is strongly dissatisfied with the frustrated people in the struggle for power, as well as a group of idealists.
The only way to overthrow Napoleon III's rule was to mess France up first, as long as there was internal turmoil.
The French people are very internationalistic, and many times they are very emotional, and they want to take care of what they think is unreasonable, which provides them with opportunities.
At Versailles, a messy procession caused alarm among Napoleon III. On the surface, it seems to be just an ordinary parade, which happens in France every year I don't know how many times.
But it has happened too often lately, and Napoleon III, who was experienced in struggle, could see at a glance that there was an organization behind it.
Napoleon III ordered: "Adel, find out the rats behind the scenes, and I will see who is causing trouble." ”
Demonstrations are legal in France, and the government has no right to interfere. However, the situation is different every day, which affects not only the economy, but also the people's hearts.
It's not the good old days of "going to work in the spring, going on vacation in the summer, going on strike in the fall, and Christmas in the winter."
This was the time of the war, as the French colonial empire collapsed after the war against France, and now Napoleon III is trying to build a second colonial empire.
Naturally, we cannot tolerate the continuation of the demonstrations that affect the country's economy, after all, there are many competitors in this year, and if you are not careful, you will fall behind.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Police Minister Adair replied apprehensively
This is not a good job, as 15 police ministers have been ousted due to the deterioration of law and order caused by the demonstrations over the years, with an average tenure of only 10.5 months.
Don't look at the good economic development and social stability in the country during the Napoleon III era, and think that their life was better. In fact, they are still sprayed with blood, as if they were the worst government ever.
If the reason is not needed, what reason is needed to touch the enemy? The government can't control public opinion, the opposition wants to spray, and Napoleon III can find people and spray them at most.
Perhaps the position has changed, and Napoleon III has become a defender of the rules. No extraordinary measures were taken against these enemies, which left room for the revolutionary party to maneuver.
Foreign Secretary Abraham said: "Your Majesty, it may be that under the influence of the Polish independence movement, the revolutionary movement in Europe has been rising again in recent times.
First, an uprising broke out in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and the rebels now control a third of Sicily; Then revolutions broke out in Spain and Portugal.
The atmosphere in other European countries is also tense, and a new wave of revolution is likely to break out again, and we must be vigilant. ”
Although the Americans only encouraged the revolutionary groups of these big countries to go back to Europe to do things, the revolutionary groups of other countries were also affected.
Seeing the surging of the Polish independence movement, many people took it for granted that a new wave of revolution was coming, and they came out to do things.
For other countries, perhaps the problem is not too serious. For France, this is a big problem.
I don't know what the reason is, every time the revolutionary wave comes, the French are indispensable, and Paris is known as the holy land of the revolution.
Napoleon III was not at all interested in this accolade, and if he could have preferred Paris to be a poor and backward city rather than a "revolutionary mecca".
Any monarch who lived in the Holy Land of the Revolution would feel Alexander, for fear of being revolutionized by accident.
Before his succession to the throne, Napoleon III was proud of Paris; After the succession, this feeling is gone.
Among other things, the number of strikes and demonstrations that take place in Paris every year directly exceeds that of the whole of Austria combined.
The number of demonstrations and strikes in France every year exceeds that of the rest of Europe combined, and it is not easy for Napoleon III to sit on the throne.
If Franz had to choose, he would rather go to the colonies and become a local overlord than be the emperor of France.
This has nothing to do with whether the monarch did well or not, just open the history books and look at the history of the French Revolution.
As a bystander, you can laugh it, but as a person concerned, you can only cry. Sitting on a powder keg every day, a policy that disagrees with some people can lead to a revolution.
The monarchy is not for the wasteful and over-energized French people, and the people of Paris have proved that only a republic is suitable for them.
Napoleon III thought for a moment and said: "This is indeed a problem, and ordered the police everywhere to be on higher alert, so that the city guards in Paris and the 7th Division in the Nantes area were replaced. ”
This was the most common tactic used by Napoleon III, and in order to prevent the revolutionaries from colluding with the military, the defenders of Paris were never permanently present.
The lesson of the fall of the Orleans dynasty had taught him that he could not sit still without a reliable army.
……
Atissa was an Italian businessman, and then he was a nationalist, and the order cannot be reversed.
Therefore, in the Great Revolution of 1848, he decisively sided with the victors and escaped.
However, this did not change the essence of him as a nationalist. Over the years, he and a group of like-minded friends have gone to great lengths to promote Italian nationalism.
In the context of the Vienna government's promotion of national integration, Artissa naturally did not dare to swim against the current, but secretly they established the Venetian cultural and artistic exchange center.
This is a simple academic exchange, but the exchange is all about Italian national culture and art. If it was just a personal hobby, it would not have attracted the attention of Austrian intelligence organizations.
The point is that they have been very desperate to hold art and cultural training courses for young people, secretly promote nationalism, and even express their desire for the independence of Venesia from time to time.
Freedom of speech in Austria is not criminalized by law as long as these ideas are not propagated in public.
From beginning to end, they only paid lip service to the truth, and did not put it into practice. Even when these ideas are instilled in teenagers, no evidence is left.
During the War of German Unification, the local government deliberately left loopholes in the hope that they would take action to wipe out the gang.
It's a pity that Atissa and others are old fritters, and their ideals have to stand aside in the face of interests.
Without the unification of Italy, and with the independence of Austria, a region of Venesia would have lost most of their present market, which was not in their interest.
So instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to become independent, they persuaded the radical nationalists not to act rashly.
This kind of lurker is the most terrifying, they do not rebel rashly, but they are working hard to rebel.
Atissa has been a little restless lately and always feels that something bad is happening. As soon as he returned home, the old butler handed him a letter.
"Mr. Artisa, this is a letter that Mr. Stephen has sent to you."
Stephen met by chance at a banquet, and the two had a good conversation, and Stephen invited him to join the colonial company and go to the African continent to open a colony.
Encountering professional fools and a large number of mercenaries as evidence, Atissa did not suspect Stephen's identity.
There are too many people with the same name in Europe, and Stephen's popular name, Austria has 70,000 or 80,000 if not 100,000, and no one would associate a colonial merchant with a Hungarian independence organization.
After opening the letter and reading it at a cursory glance, Artisa's face changed greatly.
"Nair, when you received this letter, did anyone else see it?"
The butler Nair replied with a depressed face: "The person who delivered the letter handed me at the gate, except for a few street vendors, there are no suspicious people. ”
He was very puzzled, unable to understand Artissa's nervousness. Isn't it just a letter, even if someone sees it, they don't know what's inside!
Hearing this reply, Artisa reassured: "Are there any new arrivals from those small traders?" ”
Nair replied in the affirmative, "No, it's the usual people, almost every day." ”
Atisa breathed a sigh of relief, and then the headache returned. Isn't the revolution in this year a death in battle?
He couldn't understand what Stephen was thinking. As the leader of the Hungarian Independence Organization, under the pursuit of the Vienna government, he was able to get away with it for more than ten years, why should he run back to die now.
That's right, in Artisa's opinion, now Stephen is sending him to death. The situation in Hungary is not known to others, and they are well-informed businessmen.
Not to mention independence, it is estimated that the local people will suppress them without waiting for the Vienna government to take action.
This can also happen in Venetiania. The Vienna government's national integration campaign is still working.
No matter how hard they tried, the situation of local Germanization became more and more obvious. The younger generation, in particular, is learning German, and the Italian language has disappeared from compulsory education.
Even if there are still people who insist on instilling in the next generation, but the compulsory education in Austria is very heavy, the students are busy every day, and how many people will take the initiative to learn what is not tested in the school exams?
A few years ago, Italian was still being taught in private schools, but the Ministry of Education stopped funding them and listed them as companies operating in a profiteering industry, which had to pay high taxes to the government in the same way as the luxury industry.
If the government doesn't provide funding, you can still run the school. If it is included in the luxury industry, there is no way to do it, the tax rate is as high as 95%, and the tuition fee cannot be increased by 20 times, right?
No matter how rich and wealthy you are, no one insists on it. There are now no schools in the entire Austrian Empire that are outside the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
The schools that are legally recognized are all schools that receive government funding, and the rest are corporate training institutions.
These institutions are subject to taxation, and the tax rate standard refers to the profit standard of the same industry. Unfortunately, the reference object of the school is compulsory education school, and compared with 0 fees, no matter how much fees are charged, it is considered a profiteering industry.
The training centers founded by Atisa and others rely on donations and do not charge any fees, otherwise the hat of the profiteering industry would have been deducted from them a long time ago.
It is not without people who make trouble, but unfortunately the Vienna government is very tough. If 1,000 people make trouble, 1,000 will be arrested, and if 10,000 people make trouble, 10,000 will be arrested. The main offender joined the road construction army, and the accomplices, including their families, were exiled to the colony.
After the exile of more than 100,000 people, the rest were divided. Even if you don't think about yourself, you can't help but think about your family!
Exiled convicts are treated less favourably than immigrants and are often assigned to the most deplorable areas and take on the most dangerous jobs.
Now that Stephen had invited him to join the Revolutionary Ranks Center, Atissa decided to draw a line with them at the first time, he didn't want to risk his own life.
Without hesitation, Artisa directly struck a match and lit the letter in his hand.
If you don't report it to the government, you are worthy of your friends. The meeting place on the letter, Artisa directly chose to ignore it.
Reaching out to the Revolutionary Party in Austria was also risky, and the Vienna government had always had zero tolerance for such things, and Attiza was not willing to take any risks.
After burning the letter, Artisa instructed again: "Nair, don't tell anyone about this letter. Stephen and I only met at a party, not friends, you know? ”
Butler Nair replied, "Got it, Mr. Artisa. ”
The cautious Artisa did not yet know that from the moment he preached nationalism, he had half one foot in hell.
Now the letters are burned, and they are not reported to the government, and they just stick their other foot in it.
There is no doubt that this is fishing law enforcement. If you take the letter and report the case to the local police station at the first time, it is impossible to be implicated.
If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you can't help it. Even if he did not participate in the rebellion, it is a crime to fail to report it, and he has not wronged anyone.
